With all of the trials we have faced in the last two years we were honored for the second year in a row by the Georgia Professional Photographers Association (GPPA) and the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). This past fall Mike had 5 images selected by the GPPA for its annual photography exhibit showcasing the best photographs in the state. He was also awarded a Distinguished Award and the Georgia Fellowship Degree for his images he has had accepted in its photography competitions over the past several years. Later in the fall the PPA selected 3 of his images into the Merit Collection at its Professional Photographers of America's 2021 International Photographic Competition. These images were on display last week at its annual photography exhibition showcase in National Harbor Maryland.
